my favorite bit of advice was making more effort to keep things romantic. my partner and i spent a LOT of time hashing out division of labor, how to approach finances, whose turn it was to clean the litterbox...sometimes you just have to say "fuck the dishes" and go on a real date.

this. my fiance and i had a petty cash fund for the house for the first two years we lived together, and aside from that we kept our finances separate. we're engaged now, so we have a joint savings account, but aside from that we still keep our finances pretty separate.

i'm 25 and the youngest person on my staff is 17. we get along well and i consider her a friend, as far as coworkers go. plus she's going through a lot right now so i listen to her and give her advice and encouragement. i could see keeping in touch with her over the years and becoming more equal friends later on in…

i'd watch it.

i have a friend that i only talk about light stuff with. it's not that i don't trust her or that i think she's shallow. she's just got a light and bubbly personality, and when my whole world is falling apart she has a knack for finding the cutest animal video or churning out a few one liners that make the world seem a…

it is REALLY satisfying to cook for high people. they're always so gracious.

I went to community college for my first two years, that cost a total of $5,000 but i was able to pay for it as I went along. I finished up my undergrad at a state university, that cost $26K a year and i overloaded on credits to keep the cost low, but ultimately when all was said and done 2 years at a state school…

i had something similar going on with the laundry in our apartment. he just doesn't do it, and i don't think that's ever going to change. so he takes out the trash and the recyling, and i do the laundry. if he asks me to take it out, i say, "sure, can you fold up this pile of towels?" if he does it, i take out the…

this seems like a severe picture, though. she's meant to look shrewd here. i'm sure in a more intimate setting she looks much less harsh, even pretty. she's got gorgeous skin and eyes.

...and thus ends what may be the strangest comment i've ever typed.

psht...dusting. who dusts?

maybe i'm insane, but there was one time i felt like the subject of my dream had also had a dream about me, because we were super awkward around each other for a solid day or two for no apparent reason.

I also have sex dreams about everybody. I went into work one morning after a particularly explicit dream about a coworker and couldn't look him in the eye because i was still flustered.

the girl version is pretty good, just sugar, spice and everything nice.

thank you.

i for one think we should set them all adrift. yeppers.

That's usually my mentality, that we both do chores so we get to live in a clean and lovely home, and while we make an effort to thank each other for keeping things nice it doesn't usually go beyond that. But, i don't know, after reading over some of the threads on this article i think the man's earned himself a nice…

we're broke, but once we're into our careers and making some decent money, i suspect we'll hire a cleaning service to come in once a week or so.

i've found that certain chores fall along gender lines with us. i'll keep track of social obligations, do most of the cooking/baking, and most of laundry. he runs errands, carries the heavy things up and down the stairs, and walks the dog when it's dark out. on the other hand, he has a great eye for color and…

i am rapidly realizing i have not been appreciating him enough. i'm actually cooking him a suprise dinner right now after reading some of these comments.

yeah, i'm noticing that more as we get to know other couples....and from reading some of the other comments on this article. we definitely struggled the first year we lived together with who did what, but we've gotten into a nice groove now and i think i forgot how hard it was for us to find some sort of equilibrium.…
